Polyethers isolated from the marine actinobacterium Streptomyces cacaoi inhibit autophagy and induce apoptosis in cancer cells
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Polyether compounds, a large group of biologically active metabolites produced by Streptomyces species have been reported to show a variety of bioactivity such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, and ...
Label-free density-based detection of adipocytes of bone marrow origin using magnetic levitation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-04)
Adipocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia are important parameters in describing abnormalities in adipogenesis that are concomitant to diseases such as obesity, diabetes, anorexia nervosa and osteoporosis. Therefore, technical ...
Characterization of long living yeast deletion mutants that lack mitochondrial metabolism genes DSS1, PPA2 and AFG3
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Molecular mechanisms of aging and longevity are still mostly unknown. Mitochondria play central roles in cellular metabolism and aging. In this study, we identified three deletion mutants of mitochondrial metabolism genes ...
Cytotoxic tolerance of healthy and cancerous bone cells to anti-microbial phenolic compounds depend on culture conditions
(Springer, 2019)
Carnosol and carnosic acid are polyphenolic compounds found in rosemary and sage with known anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties. Here, we addressed the potential use of carnosol and carnosic acid ...
Cascade therapy with doxorubicin and survivin-targeted tailored nanoparticles: An effective alternative for sensitization of cancer cells to chemotherapy
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
Chemotherapy frequently involves combination treatment protocols to maximize tumor cell killing. Unfortunately these intensive chemotherapeutic regimes, often show disappointing results due to the development of drug ...
Identification of cytoplasmic sialidase NEU2-associated proteins by LC-MS/MS
(Walter de Gruyter, 2019)
Background: Cytoplasmic sialidase (NEU2) plays an active role in removing sialic acids from oligosaccharides, gly-copeptides, and gangliosides in mammalian cells. NEU2 is involved in various cellular events, including ...
Visualization and analysis of miRNAs implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis within gene regulatory pathways
(2018)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), approximately 22 nucleotides long, post-transcriptionally active gene expression regulators, play active roles in modulating cellular processes. Gene regulation and miRNA regulation are intertwined and ...
Development of simple sequence repeat markers in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) by next-generation sequencing and discrimination of Turkish hazelnut cultivars
(Springer, 2018)
European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) is a diploid tree species and is widely used in confections. Hazelnuts are, to a large part, produced in Turkey with the cultivar "Tombul" widely grown in the Black Sea region. In this ...
A novel thermophilic hemoprotein scaffold for rational design of biocatalysts
(Springer, 2018-12)
Hemoproteins are commonly found in nature, and involved in many important cellular processes such as oxygen transport, electron transfer, and catalysis. Rational design of hemoproteins can not only inspire novel biocatalysts ...
CNT incorporated polyacrilonitrile/polypyrrole nanofibers as keratinocytes scaffold
(Trans Tech Publications, 2019)
Polypyrrole (PPy) is an attractive scaffold material for tissue engineering with its non-toxic and electrically conductive properties. There has not been enough information about PPy usage in skin tissue engineering. The ...
